<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>
Welcome to PandoraPanic, the frantic, frenetic and occasionally mind bending minigame collection created for Pandora by the GP32X community. From hack n&#039; slash to catch and maths, be at the ready on all of Pandora&#039;s controls as the gameplay switches beneath your fingers at every turn. The rules are simple: Panic first, ask questions later.
</p>

<h2>Game modes</h2>

<h3>PandoraPanic</h3>
<p>
Minigames are dished out in random order, for maximum panic!
</p>

<h3>Pandordered</h3>
<p>
Need order in your life? In this mode, games are played in the same sequence every time. Or are they? (Yes actually, they are.)
</p>

<h3>Selection Box</h3>
<p>
Pong too short? Pang too hard? Feel like drenching the pickle again? Selection Box is what you seek. Pick a game, dial in the difficulty, and hone your skills.
</p>

<h2>The games</h2>

<h3>PANG</h3>
<p>
Destroy the bouncing spheres without getting hit! Use <strong>D-pad Left</strong> &amp; <strong>Right</strong> to move, <strong>D-pad Up</strong> or <strong>A</strong> to fire.
</p>

<h3>ARENA</h3>
<p>
Protect the kingdom from a pack of hellish monsters! Use the <strong>D-pad</strong> to move around, <strong>A</strong> to attack.
</p>

<h3>BALLDROP</h3>
<p>
Catch the ball! Move side to side with the <strong>D-pad</strong>.
</p>

<h3>SPACE INVADERS</h3>
<p>
Kill the invading alien. You only get one shot! Move side to side with the <strong>D-pad</strong>, press <strong>A</strong> to fire.
</p>

<h3>SPELLING CONTEST</h3>
<p>
It&#039;s like a spelling bee… but not! Type the word you&#039;re given using the <strong>QWERTY</strong> keys. Easy, right?
</p>

<h3>BAD VISTA</h3>
<p>
Like a Powerglove… so bad. Hold <strong>A</strong> to start swinging, and release it for the slam dunk!
</p>

<h3>DISTRACTED MATHS</h3>
<p>
Solve a series of simple maths problems against the clock, entering your answers on the <strong>Numeric Keys</strong>. Beware those double negatives!
</p>

<h3>REFLEX</h3>
<p>
Use the <strong>D-pad</strong> to match the arrows as they appear on the screen. Errors allowed: None, of course.
</p>

<h3>PUNCH WRESTLER</h3>
<p>
Using the <strong>D-pad</strong>, lay the smackdown on your opponent by matching the arrows as they appear on screen.
</p>

<h3>PONG</h3>
<p>
It&#039;s a sudden death pong match against the CPU. First point takes the title! Use the <strong>D-pad</strong> to direct your paddle up and down.
</p>

<h3>ONE BUTTON BANDIT</h3>
<p>
Three of a kind… come in spinner! Press <strong>A</strong> to lock each reel in when the silhouette matches the symbol.
</p>

<h3>PANIC ATTACK</h3>
<p>
Be ready on all buttons, and press them as they light up on screen! And don&#039;t forget to panic.
</p>

<h3>PANJOUST</h3>
<p>
Fly your majestic bird at a wave of enemies, knocking them from the sky from above. Don&#039;t let them get the upper hand! Use the <strong>D-pad</strong> to move, <strong>A</strong> to flap upwards.
</p>

<h3>JUMPER</h3>
<p>
Using the <strong>D-pad</strong> to move and <strong>A</strong> to jump, reach the star on the right. Avoid the monsters, and the bottomless pit!
</p>

<h3>MAZE</h3>
<p>
You&#039;ve been cast into a cruel and unusual labyrinth filled with techno and ghosts. Using the <strong>D-pad</strong>, race the clock to sweet freedom!
</p>

<h3>PUTTPUTT</h3>
<p>
Your aim is true, but your swing is a killer. All you have to do is… tap it in. Press <strong>A</strong> when the power meter is in the green zone!
</p>

<h3>ROTATING TURRET</h3>
<p>
Intercept the incoming shell before it terminates the turret! Use <strong>D-pad Left</strong> &amp; <strong>Right</strong> to rotate, and <strong>A</strong> to fire.
</p>

<h3>MEMORY BLOCKS</h3>
<p>
How&#039;s your memory? Remember the colour sequence, then unscramble it! Use <strong>D-pad Left</strong> &amp; <strong>Right</strong> to select a symbol, <strong>Up</strong> and <strong>Down</strong> to cycle through the colours.
</p>

<h3>PLANDER</h3>
<p>
Who parked this thing here? Using the <strong>D-pad</strong>, pilot the lander off the ground and across to the landing pad, before the fuel runs out!
</p>

<h3>SNATCH A BEER</h3>
<p>
Press <strong>A</strong> as the mug slides by, and beat the brute to the beer. Watch out for his right hook!
</p>

<h3>THE COUNT JOB</h3>
<p>
Which colour is displayed the most? Use the <strong>D-pad</strong> and <strong>A</strong> to pick the most populous! Press <strong>A</strong> at the beginning for colourblind (greyscale) mode.
</p>

<h3>FIRE</h3>
<p>
A crazed pickle is bent on burning the place down, and you&#039;re the only fireman in the village! Use <strong>D-pad Left</strong> &amp; <strong>Right</strong> to rotate the cannon, <strong>D-pad Up</strong> &amp; <strong>Down</strong> to adjust the power, and <strong>A</strong> to fire the water cannon.
</p>

<h3>BIRTHDAY CAKE</h3>
<p>
It&#039;s Mariela&#039;s birthday and somehow she&#039;s been shrunk to the size of a mouse! She still wants to blow out her candles but someone also keeps relighting them! Use the <strong>D-pad</strong> to move her around and <strong>A</strong> to blow the candles. 
</p>

<h3>TEST YOUR SIGHT</h3>
<p>
Shamelessly copied from Mortal Kombat, this game will not actually test your eye-sight, but your ability to follow fast moving objects. You will be shown the cup hiding a Pandora-Coin and after a few shuffles should be able to determine which one that now actually is.
</p>

<h2>High scores</h2>
<p>
So you&#039;ve landed yourself in the leaderboards. Was it worth it? Or do you wish you&#039;d taken the blue pill? Enter your three letter nick using <strong>D-pad Up</strong> &amp; <strong>Down</strong> to select letters, and <strong>A</strong> to confirm. Separate high score tables are kept for PandoraPanic and Pandordered modes.
</p>

<h2>Achievements</h2>
<p>
If you want to go for the extra-challenge, these are for you! Finish MemoryBlocks in a short time, hit multiple enemies at once in Arena - simply finish the games faster, better, more awesome or in a completely different way.
